Hillary's POV

"why are you always getting in my way?" Maryam asked, clearly angry but then what did I expect.

"always getting in your way?!" I asked, shocked, "Maryam, I was your FRIEND! I spend time with you, talked to you! How do I get in your way?" I asked, angry myself.

"all the time I had to pretend I was dumb as dirt to get you guys to find me funny! You made fun of me and talked to me because you felt sorry for me! All I wanted were friends who I called friends myself!" she screamed at me.

"that's not it at all!" I gaped, apauled by her view of things, "I was friends with you because I liked your personality! You were funny and friendly and charming and helpful! I didn't hang around with you because I felt sorry for you!"

Maryam grinned, "whatever floats your boat. But for now, I just think I'm gonna kill you." she transformed quickly, running at me as I dodged sharply, turning into mouse. She looked around the floor, growling impatiently as I used the grass to hide my scurrying figure.

Once I reached her I turned back to my original form and grabbed her, flinging her across the floor. She stood up, shaking her head, before growling and launching herself so quickly that I didn't have time to dodge. She sunk her claws into me as I screamed in pain, my eyes turning black as I grew extreamly angry.

Jacob's POV

I heard the scream just before I felt the pain. Some kind of venom was spreading through by body, that venom... it was the venom only a werewolf princess could create...

I fell down as Vincent turned to me, worried as he blocked off the werewolves.

"Jacob, what's wrong?" he asked, clearly worried for me. I gulped. Each princess had a different venom, the likes of which I didn't know. I didn't know what would happen to me from this point on but I had to try and ignore the pain and keep fighting.

Wait. The Princess hadn't inserted the venom into me directly, which meant she'd used the mate connection. That meant that Hillary was in trouble...

"Jessica! Hannah! Jess!" I called. Jessica flew to the ground with Jess as Hannah looked at me to show I had her attention.

"Hillary's in trouble!" I told them, fighting off the urge to fall to the ground and shut my eyes tight, fall asleep and never wake up...

"get down there and help her!" I signalled and they all nodded, flying off in their different ways.

"Jacob," William whispered from the left of me. I turned.

"Go inside... I got this." he told me, and I nodded thankfully as I ran off towards the castle, ready to take a long nap...

Jessica's POV

I flew up again after Jacob told us to find Hillary. I searched the ground below me and quickly flew to the place the werewolves were coming from. I was flying quite low, and when I passed a pile of... you know what. I don't know what it was, and I really didn't want to see... I felt a clawed grip on my leg and I was forcefully pulled down.

A werewolf through me across the floor, and I skidded to a halt, growling. I was out of breath and panting, as the werewolf approached. There was no chance of me getting away now...

Suddenly I felt arms wrap around my waist, pulling me up to the next level of whatever it was we were standing on. I was placed to the side as the person pulled out a gun, shooting once, twice and then there was a whimper.

She turned to me and I smiled, shocked. "G!" I cried to my sister Georgina, hugging her quickly. "how did you escape? I thought you were dead!"

She flicked her hair. "pur-lease. You think a couple of bars can hold me?"

My eyes widened. "yes, yes I do! Please don't hurt the boys G, I don't have time for it now-"

She smiled. "I wasn't going to try. I resigned from the vampire hunting job, I'm not a werewolf hunting. It's quite fun, actually."

She shot another couple of werewolves gleefully, and then I remember what I was supposed to be doing.

"G, as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I'm kinda on a tight plan here-"

She smiled. "go ahead. I'll help the boys guard the castle." she jumped down to help, as I launched myself into the air again and advanced to the camp.

Hannah's POV

I couldn't transport straight to somewhere I hadn't been before, it was very high risk, along with the fact that I might not end up in the right place or I might have body parts split off from my body.

I looked across the distance, and transported to the nearest thing I could see. I quickly repeated the action, advancing more and more on the camp.

Pretty soon I was there, and turned the corner to see Maryam advancing on Hillary, who was sat on the floor.

"it's a shame, really," Maryam said as she advanced, "if only there was more of you."

"how about two?" I asked, walking into the area.

"make that three," Jessica told me, landing firmly on her feet.

"four," I heard Jess's voice as a portion of a trees trunk sank down, revealing her exiting.

"it's like I said before Maryam," Jessica laughed, pointing towards her, "I can, and always will be better than you."

Maryam smiled. "this seems highly unfair, doesn't it?" Maryam asked. "i think four on one is far to many. Maybe four on four ought to even it out a little?"

Just then a teenage boy, man and women appeared, joining Maryam from all sides. She smiled. "meet Jackson, my brother, my father George and mother Tabitia."

"bagsy Maryam!" Jessica shouted.

"Jackson!" Hillary cried.

"guys," I shook my head, "hardly the time."

Just then I launched myself onto Tabitia, and she growled, transforming straight away and attempting to throw me off. I didn't budge, quickly turning her arm to stone to keep her off, she howled in anger.

Hillary ran up and grabbed Jackson, pushing up against him and sending him flying, crashing into a tent and crushing it as he fell.

Jess sent lighting bolt to George, but he quickly dodged, running at her. She jumped onto his back and launched herself into the sky, and then there was a huge groan. A tree leant over, literally lent over as if it were swaying harshly in the wind, and Jess's smiling face could be seen through a hole in the trunk.

"Game on," she grinned.

It was then and only then when I heard a crackling sound, as if stone were braking. I turned to see Tabitia harshly attempting to move her hand, clearly spending a tremendous amount of energy on it.

I stood, my arms crossed as the stone gave a final snap and Tabitia was free, however she was out of breath and in no condition to fight.

I launched myself forward whilst I had the chance, gripping my fingers into her as I punched repeatedly. She growled, gaining enough strength to send one arm flying forward, but I quickly transported behind her and began punching again.

Whilst I repeated this action Jess was sending huge branches flying down towards George, who was frantically scurrying away from each one.

Hillary was dusting her hands at her handy-work, but clearly Jackson wasn't finished. He picked himself up at light speed (literally) and launched himself at Hillary, whom grabbed him and began saying stuff.

"you killed your own youngest sister? Interesting," she murmured. Jackson growled heavily and dug his claws into her. She squealed and narrowed her eyes, before picking up the wolf and throwing it a Jess, who had George in one hand and now Jackson in the other.

Jessica and Maryam seemed to be having a repeated battle. Jessica would send a hit and then Maryam would launch herself at Jessica, and then they began again.

Tabitia had clearly grown tired. She slumped to the ground, transforming into the form of a petit woman with long pale blond hair and a long robe on. She had a look of pain on her face.

I created two layers of rock around her, assuring that she would never escape her stone box, before turning to Jess.

She was smashing George and Jackson together repeatedly, as the two men howled in pain.

One last hit transformed them both. Jackson was a teenager with scruffy blond hair and young facial features, whilst George was a man of about forty with black hair and a couple of wrinkles here and there.

Jess placed them both of the ground before a huge tide came in, wetting the two men fully before turning to thick ice. I coated this is rock and the tide came again, washing them both out to sea.

Wherever sea was from here...

Maryam and Jessica had given up the tactful moves now and were just throwing unfocused and unpracticed punches, there faces showing anger.

We all stepped up, coughing, and when Maryam saw us alone with none of her family members her face fell. She cowered back.

"it seems your plan failed Maryam," Jessica stated, joining us with a smile on her face, "game over. YOU LOSE."

Maryam screamed as a hard case of rock was spread around her, encasing her screaming form.

We walked out of the woods, covered in scratches, to the fierce battle. Jess smiled, before her voice came out, load and booming:

"the battle is over," she stated. "the Queen is dead. The war has been won."

The werewolves all immediately bowed, long rows bowing one by one, until every one of them was down on their knees.

We walked through them, and to my surprise no one made a move to attack us. With their Queen gone, they were barley anything.

Vincent, Jacob and William were missing. Had they died? There were no bodies. The four of us went inside the castle walls, to see the three of them crouched over a body.

"what's going on-?" I began, but when I got a clear view of their faces I could see even Vincent was crying. I turned fearfully, to see her body lying on the ground.

Katy was gone. Dead. Lost to them for the second time, never to be seen again.

Tears filled my eyes as we joined them, looking down at her face, any words said laced with sorrow.
